IoT enabled Aquaponics with wireless sensor smart monitoring

Abstract

Aquaponics is an advanced and emerging farming style in which fish farming and vegetable farming turned out to be more professional and precise. This approach uses the latest technology for hydration and nutrition supply to plants and fish. This paper addresses some technical issues faced by the farmers using aqua- ponies and proposes the technical solution of an identified problem in traditional aquaponics using wireless sensors and a communication network with a GUI application. AWSM is a GUI solution for the addressed issues. AWSM based end-user mobile application alerts the farmer online with the water quality notification and suggestions even when the farmer is away. Results showed considerable improvements when AWSM based IoT application was implemented for the Aquaponics system when compared with the conventional method.
